Yep, and little ground strap from chassis the engine block but that still wasn't nearly enough ground path. Try this on... 1st 67 B'cuda we bought was a slant 6 notch, in summer 1981. I Looked it over, drove it, traded for it. First ride out after dark I realized this was the weakest charging system I had ever owned. Stop at a red light and headlights would dim, sit long enough and turn signals would slow. Amp gauge says discharge, dash lights dim, heater blower slower, but... This old girl doesn't have a spec of rust anywhere.
